How to get my network address and name even in DHCP.

#1 (**permalink**) 09-09-2003

Hi,
I have searched newsgroup and read related books to get answer for this
question. But I could not.
Are there any way to get the host's network ipaddr/name under DHCP and
manually configured and on MSwindows and Linux operating systems?
That is, I do not want to get the info from /etc/hosts but from really
running configurations.
